They replaced Harriett in the last season. I really wonder how they treated the situation. The Fresh Prince did the same but it happened a bit earlier than Season 9. Also, they took the P out of it.

TV shows just did that back then, expecting people to go along with the cast change.

it also happened with Becky in Roseanne.

And just like Aunt Viv's replacement, Harriette's replacement had nothing on the original.

She didn't disappear. She just left to later go suck dicks.

Family Matters at that point was just the Urkel, Carl and Laura show anyway. Harriette had become pretty irrelevant.

Yeah, and Viv's replacement also had a bit of unfortunate implications as well, in that New Viv was light-skinned and more submissive than Old Viv was.

It does sorta explain how Hillary got her light skin, though.

Harriet quit. She demanded the show stop being sci if Urkel half hour and go back to being a show about a family. They said no, she said fuck off.

Quite interesting considering the entire show was basically a spin off of HER character.

I feel like that was done on purpose. The character change was obvious. Rather than force someone new to have the same identity and add the same dynamic as the old ones, they phased them out and turned them into subtle characters.

Roseanne did pretty well with the change. I mean Sarah Chalke was awful, but Lecy coming in and out still worked.

Yeah that had to be a bit of a jump for people. At least with it being just the last 8 episode's, they probably didn't have to explain it.

Which sucks, because it was supposed to be HER show. Family Matters is a spin off of Perfect Strangers.

It essentially jumped the shark while riding a segway, and poo farting on the shark.

It was still enjoyable, but Steve's inventions went from silly basic shit (like a cereal with his own image, Which is something anybody could pretty much do.) To creating a clone machine, AI, Time Travel, Jekyll and Hyde, etc type shit.

The youngest Winslow daughter, I assume.

They cut her character due to her having little to no interaction with Steve Urkel, and the actress later fell on hard times and did porn and drugs for a while.

But like... no one was talking about her, right? Or did I miss something?

The implication was in this post:

They did cut her without explaining it at all, and in fact acted as if she never existed.
